"I think sometimes it's a little of both! my children are 14, 11 and 9 and I wouldnt dream of using a child parking space. I remember all to well having to struggle with 3 small children and a trolley full of shopping. the spaces are clearly marked for a reason, to ignore those marking is laziness and ignorance " well said | |||

"To be fair child partking spaces are only a suggestion they are not a law like disabled spots, you cant get clamped for parking in a child space if you dont have a kid, its not really a big deal if a abled bodied person and a kid has to walk a extra 3 parking bays so cant see the big deal.....sorry "dont think its a distance issue, think its because they are wider spaces so a child wouldn't throw open a car door and create damage to another | |||

"I'm sure it'd be a different story if Siren was forced to struggle with 2 kids in a normal sized parking space because some lazy, arrogant sod with no consideration for anyone but themselves had parked in the last parent & child place? | |||

And people then question where respect has gone from society.. lol can no longer bitch at teenagers for not doing as they are told if as adults you stick 2 fingers up at a simple request (legal or not)" nope, in my case its a work thing, the store managers wont let us use the loading bay in the goods in area, so i am parking as close as i can get to the main door | |||

I only learnt to drive when my youngest of my four children was 5 and i had to struggle with buses double pushchairs shopping etc etc before that ! Must admit i do sometimes park in the parent and child bays altho my youngest is now 11 but my reason is very valid - the doors on my galaxy are massive and normal parking bays are sometimes too narrow lol | |||

"lkot of people responding to this thread talking about fines for parking where ever If its a supermarket carpark it is private property, park where you like, the marking sont the bays have no basis for enforcement in law h some company such as Eurocarparks may write to you with what seems like a parking ticket, it isnt, ignore it, no matter what they treaten you with, its not a parking ticket, its an invoice you do not have to pay it. " Never respond to their letters, demands etc, don't waste your energy. I believe there isn't one case known in British courts of any of these private notices being enforced, and someone forced to settle payment. That said, I do wonder whether cars with obese children in, where there's no medical reason for it, shouldn't have enforced parking spaces about 3 miles from the store doors. | |||

Everyone just had to walk. My mum used to walk with us 3 to the market. 3km back and forth. OMG how we pointed at people without children overtaking us!! Oh and imagine we kids had to help her carrying the groceries!! The shock, I know. I think some people take their 'right' for a parking space a bit too seriously. | |||

Besides......... none of it matters. ShoppingC is a dying passtime. The high streets are wasted. Your kids will shop online so ......chill ..... You can all fight over the biggest swivel chair with the most space around it. "  | |||

But now there are as a safety thing. It's nothing to do with being lazy... Car seats mean you need to open doors wide... Would you rather take these spaces away and then get your car doors banged...

Good manners depend on reciprocation. In my experience the chippy tossers who drive half a mile to Tesco's in their 4x4 with brats in tow believe they are entitled to a parking slot closer to the shop than the rest of us, and whinge incessantly if they don;t get their own way. Given that I spent the first two years of my daughters life folding up her buggy to get on a bus to go anywhere, is it really such a hardship for Mrs Chav to have to walk from the back of the carpark? Ity's the triumph of the whingeocracy, the people who think they're special and that life should be made easier for them at the expense of the rest... | |||

Only the fully paid up whingeograts who believe there is some special kind of suffering involving being a breeder and dragging your kids to the shops could take it personally - to the rest of us it's just part of the daily friction, like putting up with not being able to get down the road to work because of all the lazy arses who double park outside the local school because their obese offspring can't walk half a mile each morning and afternoon. | |||

"I would have quite liked to have been able to park in wider parking spaces near the front of the store when I had to get very frail elderly parents in and out of the car. However, we just had to park at the back of the car park and take our time walking to the store whilst sprightly fit parents parked directly outside and skipped into the store with their 4/6/8 year old kids....

Actually my children dont run out, and when they were very little I would have reins or put them straight into a pushchair or trolley. So that bit doesnt apply to me. What amases me is disabled spaces are only inforced the same way as parent and child spaces, yet most ( not all) realise that its unacceptable to park in those spaces. To me its no different... maybe I was just brought up with better respect for my fellow human beings.

Cali " If that bit doesn't apply to you, because you know better, why cite it in argument? There is no parking enforcement on private land, so the disabled spaces are enforced exactly as are the parents and kids spaces. If people respect them more, it's because they intuitively recognise the spurious arguments for priority for parents with kids for what they are - marketing dressed up as a safety crusade. It's only on the highway that there are legally enforceable differences in the way the disabled are treated. As for the spurious claim to a certain moral authority because you were brought up with better respect for human beings, spare us. It's not about respect; all you've done in this thread is dress up naked self interest in shabby second rate arguments that would disgrace a high school debating society. Like the rest of the whingeocracy you won't address the point that manners are reciprocal, and it's that gap in your moral compass that explains the way you've lurched into the disguised ad hominem attacks of 'maybe I was brought up with better self respect' - appeals to bogus moral superiority are pretty much the hallmark of the professional whingeocrat. | |||

" If Tesco's want to make your life easier, but mine harder, you can hardly complain iof I give Tesco's the two fingered salute and do what I feel like doing Master Posting to _wayman Its your words not mine, explain how walking an extra few feet makes your life harder, im interested how a grown man unless severely disabled could find life harder because they cant park at the front of the car park and if you were that disabled you would have a space anyway as there are plenty of spaces left aside for blue badge holders. As for your comment of what I am a Master of ? well that would be no concern of yours and is irrelevant to the thread. Glanny posting. I just wanted to say that.... Just in case. " Master Posting ( so you cant blame Cali ) Why would you post that ? what relevance has that to anything on this thread ? | |||

Just arrogance or stupidity???" Its called lazyfabastarditis and most at home with the BMW or Chelsea taxi driver. Funny as fuck some say it puts them out though. If you cant walk 100meters to the supermarket doors you are going to be shit in the shagging department. | |||

Cali "i agree actually i think if you have a pram its easier to walk, where i moved from they didnt have these buses where you can just push your prams on like they do round here so when my eldest two was babies if i got the bus it ment taking them out and folding the pram down while holding two babies, which lets be honest with two hands in near on impossible and even worse if you was on your way home and had two babies, a double pram and shopping to get on the bus so 9 times out of 10 id just load up the pram and walk home, and you know what its really no big deal we coped cause we had to so im sorry if its just cause ive never had the luxury of driving but i really cant see any big deal in not getting a parking spot made for having kids and i dont mean that to offend anyone but i really cant see the hassle in using a normal parking spot, surely holding your kids hand and walking a bit further isnt that big a deal? and unless your driving a tank you can still get in and out of the door in any spot | |||

"See actually I should clarify my position on this.. I think that all spaces should be that bit bigger... and that apart from disabled spaces, no special spaces should be provided.. HOWEVER, the supermarkets do provide these spaces..and mark them for people with children under 5 or 12 depending on which supermarket it is... So therefore I dont think that people should abuse these spaces.. and that unless you require them that you shouldnt use them. Same as people wouldnt use the disabled spaces.. which are only enforced in the same way.. Cali " I think the spaces should have little rails around them and a Fisher Price play centre and nannies to patrol, feed and change nappies while parents shop. | |||

"such entrenched positions here... seems us mums expect some common civility and manners....the big society. But some dont wish to be held to higher standards of common good manners. we all live by differing standards of behaviour in all areas of life. debate is good especially if its made a few ponder thier behaviour for a few moments. given that damaging someones car is prob accepted as bad....and the same for being involved in hurting a child somehow with a car is bad how many off the I will park anywhere brigade wud feel no guilt if they bash a car or worse a child....reversing out of a parents spot ?" No worse than I'd feel if I ran them over backing out of my 'fab forum' approved parking space. I can't imagine a parent saying.....

My question is this.....why do people who have chosen to have children get preferetial treatment and (as some on here show) expect and demand it??
what other lifestyle choices get treated in such a way? | |||

If I ran the child over it's due to poor driving or poor parenting or a combination of both. Where im parked is irrelevant. If we want to take this 'straw man' or 'irrelevant sidetracking scenario' further , why don't we just say that as im a fantastic driver - each time I park in a parenty type parking space I am in fact saving lives. | |||

Last thing Tescos want is a kid being run down in the carpark itd bad for business. 2nd thing they want to avoid is people avoiding shopping there cos last time mum with kids not under control dinted your car with her trolley. | |||

"Dear Evesham, may I profer a thought in response to your questions ? Dear Granny Yes yo may, i wait in anticipation for your reply." Pure economics. Nothing other than business. Families call the shots. They eat, wear clothes, buy baby goods, school uniforms, in house entertainment the lot....... Families are money. Get the kids on board whilst young. Keep their loyalty and they return with the next batch of sprogs. | |||

the vast majority of women have kids..."Not at an age they need to be supervised they don't most have kids who have long since grown up so women with young children are in a minority if you look into it. | |||

" irrelevant side tracking ?? your user name inc the word granny...so I will make the leap that u are a grand parent ?? what if its your grand child....you wud say its an irrelevant issue child parking ?? encouraging you to reconsider is me being a good parent....encouraging mums to park in a specified area of a car park is good driving practise as drivers using the car park are then aware of an increased chance children may be in the vacinity ! | |||
